Abstract
A hydrogen permeable module includes a hydrogen permeable membrane that permeates hydrogen, an outer peripheral part of the hydrogen permeable membrane being restricted, an inside of the outer peripheral part of the hydrogen permeable membrane being not restricted. The hydrogen permeable module permeates the hydrogen by constantly keeping a pressure of a primary side to a pressure that is equal to or more than a pressure of a secondary side. The inside of the outer peripheral part of the hydrogen permeable membrane is not restricted so as to be capable of expanding to the secondary side.
Claims8
A hydrogen permeable module comprising:
- a hydrogen permeable membrane that permeates hydrogen, an outer peripheral part of the hydrogen permeable membrane being restricted, an inside of the outer peripheral part of the hydrogen permeable membrane being not restricted,
- wherein the hydrogen permeable module permeates the hydrogen in a state where a pressure of a primary side is more than a pressure of a secondary side,
- wherein the inside of the outer peripheral part of the hydrogen permeable membrane is not restricted so as to be capable of expanding to the secondary side,
- wherein the hydrogen permeable module further comprises a stationary support, which has a support surface, and which is provided at the secondary side, and
- wherein the support surface corresponds to a shape of the hydrogen permeable membrane expanded to the secondary side by virtue of a pressure difference between the primary side and the secondary side in the state where the pressure of the primary side is more than the pressure of the secondary side.
